Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.
Display:
'subsidizing' renewables presumably reduces demand for gas, which is the main alternative source of power these days (although that argument forgets the screams by the power industry against wind for needing 'back-up' and the reality that gas-fired power plants are quite compatible with wind...)

And the link between demand certainty and upstream investment (and midstream infrastructure) is real, but if you don't have the demand then you don't need the investments either...
